"WELL, ARE YOU?"

Well, we only have one day left in National Preparedness Month so I wanted to post the TMC NEWS POLL QUESTION “Are You Ready?” one more time.

In the event of a local disaster and you and your family must evacuate immediately – will you be ready? If the disaster is such that you must remain in your home for several days with no help from the outside – will you be ready?

Do you and your family have a plan in place? Have you practiced it?

Since this poll was first posted only 125 votes have been cast with 82 saying they have no plan in place – 22 say they are ready and 21 said they did not but they will soon. So if you have not yet voted – do it NOW!

Are you prepared? If not, the Lorain County Emergency Management Agency invites you to pick up the phone and give them a call at 440.329-5117. They will send you, free of charge, a pamphlet with complete details about how to build your emergency evacuation kit. The pamphlet also provides tips about how to create a plan for you and your family in the case of an emergency.

Make the call today – Be PREPARED!
